People at my meeting being patient with me after not sleeping well Thursday evening.
Having weekends off.
My dog Jax who is showing signs of aging but is equally adorable to this day.

A good cup of coffee.
God.
My son and family, including my four legged kids.
The beautiful tree in our yard. I never used it admire it so much before but this week, I do!
Patience at work, when things get stressful.
Being able to kill people with kindness. Maybe not very Christian like but sometimes you just gotta! ;)
Watching my pets chase and wrestle with each other.
Peace when I let it happen in my life.
That I GET to go to work. There are those out there that do not have that option.
Finally, for the day, the internet which opens up so many possibilities when used wisely. :)

I am starting my weight loss plan today. Very excited and a little scared at the same time. Grateful for support, however.
I got to see my step-daughter running by my house as she and a friend ran a full marathon.
I got up at 6:30 a.m. to start my plan and feel better for not sleeping in too much.
My son’s best friend’s mom for driving my son home after he had too much to drink last night. He would normally walk the block and a half rather than drive but she saw he was not doing well with that either and rescued him while I was sound asleep.
God, for looking over my son and putting the right people in his life.
Good food that I will be eating.
Waking up sober and nicotine free another day.
I get to start my old schedule this coming week at work and won’t be up at 4:30 a.m. like last week.
Although I miss my husband and my dad on Father’s Day, I know they are at peace in heaven.
This site as it truly is awesome.
Happy to be off today, as while I was working an early shift at work, I forgot some days to post my gratitude list. :(
Grandma’s Marathon running by my house, something I have enjoyed watching since childhood.

A new person to help get sober this week. You can’t keep it unless you give it away, they say. ;)

Patience when I needed it at work this week.
My dog, Jax, and my cat, Skeeter.
